They have caught him with IP addresses before. He thinks he's safe because he doesn't post on Ihub anymore ;-).

There are other tracking methods. If you use multiple machines at a common location, more than likely there is a common gateway IP that could be checked and an assumption could be made (falsely I might add, depending on the organization). Masking your ID on the internet is possible. Remembering which ID to use at what location is something that a lot of 'spooofers' sometimes forget to do and that will trip them up. Certainly you could use an anonimizing service and even change your MAC address on your router but it's usually a combination of things that are used to determine the 'spoofers'. Regards.
